你离出口成章的口语能力还有多远 | 口语满分养成记

托福口语考试是考察口语能力而不是口语技巧的考试。想要解决以上问题，你需要做的是培养语感，提升自己的口语能力。就像学过乐器的人会很容易就将一首流行乐曲的谱子听写出来一样，当积累的高质量英文内容达到一定程度时，在回答口语问题是自然游刃有余。

口语能力的高低取决于大脑中能够满足语音清晰（delivery）、语义有效（language use）、流利连贯（topic development）的话题的数量的多少。

• 语音清晰

- 说出去的话别人可以听懂，口音不够地道没关系，只要没有错误就是合格的

• 语义有效

- 在合适的场景追求合适的表达，而不是一味追求简单易懂的语言

举个栗子：如果老板让你修改文章里的一句话，那么应该用哪个词来表达“修改”最为合适？revise？ polish？ modify？不不不，它们都不如critique来的贴切。如果你能正确使用单词来表达，那么口语能力就比别人高了那么一点点噢~

• 流利连贯

- 只有输入才有输出，不断地积累优质材料，才能让自己完整流利的用英文表达自己的观点

想要提高口语能力，就是要使自己大脑内存中的话题数量变多。而背诵语言地道、理解深刻的英语段子是提升口语能力的最有效方法。

再举个栗子：

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement, it is better to live close to parents than far away from them.

I agree with that it is better to live close to parents than far away from them. First, it can be a backup plan, a helping hand. I can't tell you how many mornings coworkers have casually— but gratefully— mentioned that their dad helped shovel out their driveway or their mom gave them a ride when the car wouldn't start or their aunt is taking care of their sick child so they don't have to miss work. It seems that, within reason, having extended family nearby means there's always someone around to help. Second, the homesickness arises. When I am far away from home and need a hug with a family member but can’t have one, I can either toughen myself up and get on with it, or curl up in a duvet with junk food and feel miserable. Finally the latter option always wins.
